“Hard Brexit was xenophobic, economically illiterate and narrow-minded.
An apology from the Brexit lobby is too much to hope for. Silence might be a relief.

From the day Britain left the EU, this reset was inevitable. What a pointless waste of time, money and effort | Simon Jenkins
Keir Starmer is not blameless when it comes to Brexit, but he is moving in the right direction. Even the Tories attacking him know that, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins

HELL YEAH: During my interview with Congressman Eugene Vindman, he BLASTED Trump for supporting Putin over Ukraine:
“Dangerous. Dishonorable. Disgusting.”
He then attacked Trump’s lies:
“Anybody that tells you Ukraine is responsible for starting this war, whether it’s Putin or Trump, is LYING.”

Good news, Elon Musk has tens of billions in loans secured against Tesla.
If Tesla goes bankrupt he will go completely bankrupt as all his current possessions will be needed to pay his debts.
Time for Tesla to tank.

Whenever I hear Roberta Flack's song "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" I just sob. It was a song I used to listen to when my son was first born and was colicky. I would hold him and dance slowly and it seemed to soothe him. My son is now 33 years old. Rest in peace Roberta Flack.

Someone with standing should file a lawsuit, too, stat. I don’t know if that’s Bluesky or someone who’s been banned from Twitter, but it needs to be challenged. Make the Supreme Court say Republican presidents can privatize government communications.
The NTSB says it will no longer email news outlets or reporters with notifications of upcoming press conferences, including those on plane crashes in Washington and Philadelphia.
Instead, all notifications will be made on X.
We're filing a FOIA to find out more about the change in policy.

There are going to be a lot of crimes carried out in full public view, done in the confidence that they won't be prosecuted. Remember them and prosecute thoroughly as soon as we can.
Then maybe the next time around, people won't be so confident in their immunity.
